Peter's Week

Busy  week! Nice weekend last in Idaho where I helped Don and kids as we worked on the yard and garden.  Driving home I was coming into Smithfield when these two guys cut in front of me and and romped on the gas.  There was billowing smoke, loud noises and suddenly oil and engine parts flying around me! Fortunately I only got oil on my car. They ended up by the side of the road with a puddle of oil under the car.  Nice to have Dad and Mom here for a couple of days.  I didn't get to see them much as I went to California for work.  Interesting trip meeting with CW and ABC.  On the way back from lunch we had a chance to walk through the set of General Hospital.  A big warehouse with an isle down the middle and several sets on each side.  The start at one set, film all the scenes in that set, then move to the next one.  At night, a crew comes in and takes down the sets and brings in the next several.  Beyond the scene hall is a staging area with sets stacked up on little carts for several weeks.  Then, beyond that is a big shop where the sets are all made.  Pretty intersting what a science and process goes into making something like that.

Friday night we started working on the house make over for the wedding reception with the planting of several hundred flowers.  Got up and did more plus planted the vegetable garden and put in sprinklers for the garden.  Then went up and worked to very late on the airplane.  Hopefully, it's about there! A wonderful Sunday and Spencer just stopped by and great to visit with him.  This week, the Move UK guys are here in town and I'm in back to back meetings every day but hopefully we'll come out with a good strategy. 

Looking forward to a good week!  Hope you are too!
